Thinking about running one of these. Any interest?

100 or under I would be interested

Pretty certain I'm gonna run mine at. 100. Just need to iron out the rules

I'm in. Just drove from Detroit to Atlanta. Let's discuss rules and format more in depth tomorrow.

Ps if anyone is in the Atlanta area or will happen to be in Biloxi this weekend I'd be interested in meeting up for a drink or two.

yup... could be interressed

Interested

Anyone has suggestions for lineups? Once we get that ironed out ill start the league and get everyone signed up

This was how i ran my playoff ffb league last year on P5s. Imo this was the best variation of rules for one i had ever played in and it was very competitive (especially with the ladder payouts system). Lmk what you think.


--Each of the 6 teams drafts 1 and only 1 player from all 12 playoff teams. Points are cumulative through the Superbowl. Once your player's team is eliminated, you no longer get points from him.

--We're going to use the scoring from Ivy's league last year, which you can find a rundown of at http://www.pocketfives.com/f13/1st-a...league-674184/ (i have a spreadsheet set up for this scoring)

--Slow draft done itt (maybe Skype chat if we can coordinate) beginning as soon as playoff brackets are known (likely next Monday). 7 hour shot clock on picks so please don't signup if that's a problem (trade numbers with the 2 guys flanking your pick if you have to). Clock will be turned off from 1 AM-8 AM EST. 1st pick needs to be prepared because that pick is due by 8 AM Tuesday, at which point 2nd pick goes on the clock.

--If you lose a WR/TE to injury and their team advances to the next round, then you are allowed to replace them with another available player at the same position on their team as long as you announce the change prior to kickoff. For example: you draft Wes Welker, he re-injures himself in the divisional round, Broncos win, then you can swap in another available Broncos WR/TE (so probably not DT or Decker but likely Andre Caldwell) in the conference round. However, you would not get any points for Caldwell from the divisional round.

2 Team QBs (so you'd draft "Broncos QB" instead of just Peyton as a hedge against QB injuries derailing your chances)
2 Team RBs (that's anyone with ESPN eligibility at RB. You do not get points for rushing stats from QBs, WRs, or punters or passing stats from RBs)
3 WR
1 TE
1 Team K
1 DST
2 flex (WR/TE/K/DST...max of 1 DST in the flex)

Payouts (everyone pays $100 up front; everyone but 6th gets something back):
6th: 0 (-100)
5th: 20 (-80)
4th: 50 (-50)
3rd: 80 (-20)
2nd: 150 (+50)
1st: 300 (+200)

Don't like such a flat payout

Payouts are the most adjustable part. I did the ladder last year so every pay jump had a sweat (the whole idea of the league is to give everyone something to sweat in the playoffs, yet often it will be down to 2 teams after the divisional round and thus the maximum sweat is not achieved). You can change those as you see fit. You can adjust the ladder as you like or you can give the ladder a TOTAL ELIMINATION!!! and do something more traditional.

Are the other rules to your liking?

It's not just up to me. I'm just the guy holding the money.

This is true. Whatever we do, it needs to be finalized by mon so we have tues-fri to draft. I am in for whatever.

If no one says anything tonight I'll just make an executive decision tomorrow so we can get everything sorted. Planning on drafting Thursday

If you are in for 100 please pm me ASAP. Need to know how many teams before I set up league.

Im going to do it on myfantasyleague.com

Still deciding on positions.

I can't see any sample roster sizes or starting positions without creating a new league.

What are we thinking here? Are we going with QB or Team QB? I have no preference.

I stand by my previous suggestion about changing starting rosters by round.

Defense added for Superbowl.

Starting rosters are 8/8/7/5. We can draft 16 rounds and have no adds/drops. We don't have to use a specific site or software. With our collection of minds/talents, we can figure everything out on our own.

QB
0.04 pts/Yd
6 pt/Td

R/W/T
1 PPR
0.1 pts/Yd
6 pt/Td

K
3 pts up to 30
0.1 pts/Yd beyond 30 (eg. 43 yards = 4.3 pts)
-1 pts/Missed or Blocked Kick

Defense
1 pt/sack
2 pts/fumble recovery, int, safety, blocked kick,
6 pts/TD (of any kind)

10 for 0 pts against
7 for 1-6 pts against
4 for 7-13 pts against
1 for 14-19 pts against
0 for 20+ pts against

How about that?

League is set up.

I went with 1 qb
1 rb
1 wr
1 te
2 wr/te/rb flex
1 d
1 kicker.

no benches

4 point passing td. ppr. Should be all set. There are 4 confirmed in already. If you want in pm me you email address and I will send an invite

Forgot to put draft will be at 830 pm est. Thursday

Buyin is 100. will settle on payouts once I know how many teams we have

I like this format and the draft date and time work for me. I'll have something to look forward to now after that dolphins loss today lol.

We have 7 in. And one more expressed interest. I'm gonna lock sign ups tomorrow night or Tuesday afternoon.

If you haven't talked to me about payment pm me how you can pay please

8 should be the perfect number.

Yea. Starting to think 10-12 might be to many. Would be very thin

It's been brought to my attention that there are no benches. That changes things a bit.

Closing reg tonight. We have 7 in so far. Think 8-10 would work best
